DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Titania, that fight barely happened. Are you ill? Recover quickly and spare
this arena the unedifying spectacle of Ming the Terrible on the throne.
-- Dilys tyl Kogan
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to DAL SHANG once again! It seems so recently people were saying
REFUGEES was washed up, finished. But 4-0-0 moved them up 0. I guess they're washed
no more... What's with CHURRO THE SPIKE? He actually beat DAL SHANG's POLWHIS THE
CANDLE, and walked away with 7 more points from the fight. I can barely restrain my
enthusiam for SUPERIOR FORCES 3J's outstanding member, Duelmaster TITANIA. I suppose
you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...
Warriors of DAL SHANG unite. You have only your games to lose! SAGAT OF PAIDAN
killed KASSELA TYL DRU, and expects revenge from SAND DANCERS. The dead are better
off dead--they have no worries. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. DAL SHANG
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
This ad was misfiled and might have been intended for last turn's newsletter.
Then again, it might be right on time. -- Ed.
Zarla -- Just do you don't have to complain again that all you fight are standbys, I
thought I'd try my only warrior here against your 5-0 p-rip. Probably not a wise move
on my part, but what the heck. BTW, have you ever tried challenging? Backlash
doesn't avoid and he's been here nine arena fights without a single challenge from
anybody. -- Sultan
You know, I could warm to Sweet Anella more if he was a she. They tell me this cross-
dressing stuff is an art, but I don't see it. -- Ming the Terrible
These Dwarves get so excited. I guess it's a good thing the Commission doesn't let
them use their weapons of choice; they'd be a serious menace with axes. But what does
a Dwarf know about flails, eh? -- Durvan
Let Ming complain about Sweet Anella all he wants; Ming's full of it. Anella has the
GREATEST clothes! -- Jesse Tavan
I wonder if Sagat of Paidan ever wishes he'd stayed home? -- Kassela tyl Rhu
Dwarves are a terribly grudging lot, have you noticed? They grudge it when they have
to surrender (no grace for them), and they don't teach well. -- Murgon
Causey -- Ah, one-man team? Must get lonely, huh? Any time you want a drinking
companion, look me up. I know some really rotten dives where a couple of gladiators
can have fun. -- Churro the Spike
Gods, these Illisni are worse than ordinary Delarquans! They're not only
bloodthirsty, cruel, and uncivilized, they're PERVERSE. -- Porgaral
Nobody told me I'd have to beat up lame beggars. My mother would be so ashamed! --

Invitation to Newbie Managers
by Hammer
As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta
Cartel Crimson Ascension Family. Lady Martilyo and Rook are NO LONGER members of the
Vendetta Cartel.
The Vendetta Cartel is divided into "Families" under the leadership of Captains;
who have been appointed by the VC God Father known throughout the duelingland as
Master Darque.
Hammer is now the Captain of the Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe and the veteran
manager extends an invitation for prospective membership as a Probate [ONLY 2 Probate
positions are available in the VC Tarantula Tribe at the present time!] to any Newbie
Manager who qualifies under the following conditions:
1. Newbie Manager MUST have Online Access for Email communications! [Hammer is
presently living in Qatar and Lieutenants Maximillian and Firehawk are living in
Canada; so Email Communication is a MUST for consideration!]
2. Newbie Manager MUST have the time and funds to create 2 new stables to be
placed in 2 separate Slow Arenas [the cost of running 1 stable in a Regular Arena!]
to actively participate on a monthly basis with the other 3 T-Tribe members of the
Vendetta Cartel!
3. Newbie Manager MUST have the DESIRE to be an Active Member of the Vendetta
Cartel as a Tarantula Tribe trainee aka Probate; developing his/her managerial skills
under the mentorship of Hammer and the other VC members; thus proving themselves
worthy to become Vendetta Cartel Lieutenants in the Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe!
The Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe lives by the Feud; thereby prospective
Probates are forewarned that membership guarantees instant Friends and instant
Enemies!
Any prospective Probates who:
1) seek to improve their managerial insights/abilities under the counsel of
Hammer and other Vendetta Cartel members
2) desire to be active members of an Active Alliance that WILL NOT Dissolve in a
Few Months; building lasting friendships while enjoying Feuding with Common Enemies
3) who enjoy sending their gladiators to Tournaments and would strive to see
their manager name listed among the TV and TC winners in the Mailer Tourney
Newsletters as a member of the Vendetta Cartel
MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:
Send an Email to HammerDM@fastermail.com to introduce yourself and provide Hammer
with a short Bio of your managerial successes/failures and favorite/least favorite
fighting styles; with a listing of your active stable/stables for Hammer to verify in
the online newsletters.
Hammer will choose the 2 prospective Probates for membership in the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe on the basis of who he decides will be most suited [to Hammer's
purposes as the T-Tribe Captain!] from among those responding to this All Arena Ad on
a first response/first acceptance or rejection basis!
-- Hammer; Vendetta Cartel Captain/WordSmith and WeaponSmith of the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe
